Elmering Poeticly

Wednesday Advertising Day.

Elmer Wexler was on eof the imortant artists at comic advertising suppliers Johnstone and Cushing. I have shown his work a couple of times, but here are some random articfacts I found about him. First of, what seems to be a photo from his service years. After that an illustration he did later in life. Unlike most of his work for Johnstone and Cushing, it is signed. After that a couple of dailies from his strip Vic Jordan, which he did for PM Newspaper in 1942. A seller on ebay has some of these papers (always pretty expensive) and tearsheets (always a shame).

Ebay Sales

I am slowly selling my comics, cartoon and newspaper collection on Ebay. In short, when I am done scanning them and they are on the blog, I no longer need to keep the original paper. If you want to go and have a look what I have on sale now, please go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/gerapeldoorn/m.html?item=152381924308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. Prices are low and I combine for shipping.

The Number One Research Site

I have been doing this blog for more than seven years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
